I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

Moving forward, albeit uphill.
The easier path is backward; all traps are baited with tender, tempting things.
Be a light, if you can; even an impossibly tiny flicker keeps the darkness at bay.

A Halloween mirror is made by the rays of the moon shining into a looking-glass. If a girl sits down at the mirror at midnight and cuts an apple into 9 slices, holding each on the point of a knife before she eats it, she will see her future lover in the mirror, asking for the last piece of apple.

While 2020 was an odd, nightmarish year, my manic attention to gardening produced perhaps the world's most beautiful pumpkin.

On a dreary morning this week a few hundred Yellow-headed Blackbirds gathered to perch atop reed clumps in a flooded field, making it look alive as if with wild sunflowers. It was a brief appearance, the likes of which I’ve not seen before. Another of Mother Nature’s special moments. #birds_matter
